20090005200MECHANICAL FUNCTION CONTROL OF CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION HYDRAULIC SYSTEM - A simplified continuously variable transmission system control provides a variable clamping force and a differential cylinder pressure manipulation to change sheave ratios. The system control uses two pumps. The first pump provides the variable clamping force. The second pump provides pressure changes to effect ratio changes. The clamping force can be varied based upon operator demand on an associated engine.01-01-2009
20090239690IN-SERIES TWO CHAIN CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION - A continuously variable transmission has an input pulley assembly connected to a first transfer pulley assembly with a first chain and a second transfer pulley assembly connected to an output pulley assembly with a second chain. The first transfer pulley assembly and the second transfer pulley assembly shaft a common shuttle disk that moves axially on a countershaft that carries the first and second transfer pulleys. The input pulley assembly and the output pulley assembly are generally axially aligned and a bearing carrier is positioned between the pulleys. A high pressure fluid supply system reduces or eliminates axial loading on the shafts of the transmission.09-24-2009
20090286643COMBINATION CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION AND PLANETARY TRANSMISSION - A modular assembly of a transmission is provided in which a continuously variable transmission module is separable from a planetary transmission module. When connected, the two modules function as a single transmission. The two modules are connectable in multiple orientations relative to each other. A single fluid source can be provided for operation of the two modules.11-19-2009
20100059300MANUALLY OPERATED ELECTRICAL CONTROL AND INSTALLATION SCHEME FOR ELECTRIC HYBRID VEHICLES - A hybrid vehicle system facilitates operator control over electric power generation and use. The system features a motor/generator that can be mounted to an output of a transmission of the vehicle.03-11-2010

20110121796Voltage Regulation System - A tap-switching autotransformer for regulating the voltage supplied to a facility includes an electronics sub-assembly for controlling switching of the taps. The electronics sub-assembly and the windings are contained in a housing from which the electronics sub-assembly may be removed for repair or replacement. The electronics sub-assembly is adapted to enable an electronically actuated switch to short-circuit two of the taps. A mechanical switch enables a separate short-circuit to be maintained between the taps to enable the electronics sub-assembly to be safely removed from the housing.05-26-2011

20120030182HIERARCHICAL MULTIMEDIA PROGRAM COMPOSITION - A computer-based method for media composition of a family of related time-based media programs. The method involves creating a master program with time-based elements of video and/or audio as well as time-based and non-time-based metadata, creating a derivative program that includes derivative elements, defining an inheritance relationship between the master program and the derivative program that specifies elements of the master program to be inherited by the derivative program, and causing the derivative program to inherit the specified elements from the master program in accordance with the inheritance relationship. User interfaces are provided for creating, editing, and viewing hierarchical trees of related programs.02-02-2012

20090014675RESILIENT SEATED BUTTERFLY VALVE WITH INTERCHANGEABLE OFF-CENTER AND ON-CENTER DISCS - The resilient seated butterfly valve has a common spherical center for receiving either an on-center or off-center disc, both of which are rotatably mounted in the body. A seal has a seat spherical surface. The seal is affixed to the circumference of the valve chamber. It has an on-center seal region for engagement with the on-center spherical sealing edge of the on-center disc. The seal has an off-center seal region for engagement with the off-center spherical sealing edge of the off-center disc. The seal may include an outlet flange, an outlet ramp, an inlet ramp, and an inlet flange. The front face of the seal for the off-center disc extends beyond the position of the front face of the seal for the on-center disc.01-15-2009
20100301251PLUG VALVE WITH FLOW AREA EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN THE FLOW AREA OF THE CONNECTED PIPING - An apparatus is provided that in some embodiments provide an improved plug valve having a plug with a curved cylindrical sealing surface and a substantially flat second surface. An inlet region of the housing has a constant cross-sectional flow area.12-02-2010
